With the expansion of cities and the increase of short distance travel, e-bikes have become an essential choice for most families as a convenient means of transportation to solve short distance travel problems. Low-carbon, lightweight and convenient, electric bicycles bring great convenience to travel, while easing the traffic pressure in cities, likewise, charging electric bicycles becomes one of the daily tasks. Due to the illegal charging or use of ordinary socket charging for a long time is very likely to cause fire, the administrative departments around the introduction of regulations and norms, requiring electric vehicles can not be charged upstairs, so the unified installation of electric bicycle charging piles in residential areas around the floor has become one of the solutions.
With the development of digitalization of money and technological progress, the form of community charging piles is also changing, from the initial coin charging mode, to swipe card charging, scanning code charging, and now 4G module communication, the electric bicycle charging piles are also progressing.
Using 4G module charging pile equipment, the cost itself is relatively high, and need the support of mobile network, in some special places, such as basement and other places with weak or no signal, unless the installation of communication base station, it will have an impact on the use of the charging pile, which in turn increases the cost of the product, therefore, the application of Bluetooth communication technology in the electric bicycle charging pile came into being.
Low-power Bluetooth module solution VS 4G module solution
The advantage of low power Bluetooth module solution instead of 4G module communication is the following two points.
1. Lower cost
Due to the high cost of 4G module itself, plus the use of 4G module on the mobile network dependence, in some occasions without mobile network need telecom operators to install communication base stations, and increase the cost.
2. Bluetooth communication combined with a single freestanding layout, better security.
Bluetooth communication perfectly realized the independent layout of the charging pile, so that each product independent operation without interference, different from a tow ten and other integrated pile, higher security, and easy to install low cost.
The innovative micro low-power Bluetooth module MS46SF11 can realize the charging pile Bluetooth solution. The biggest advantage of BLE Bluetooth solution is that the charging pile does not need to be networked, and no complicated wiring, flexibility, low construction cost; effectively solve the new/old residential district, or roadside decentralized laying charging pile transformation and upgrading, effectively solve the traditional charging convenience.
Low-power Bluetooth module MS46SF11 can be used to increase the Bluetooth function of charging piles.
Bluetooth charging pile program advantages
1、Timed charging function: users can select the command operation of timed appointment charging/start charging/end charging on WeChat applet or cell phone APP.
2、No network status: the data on the charging pile (hours, power, status of detection points, current, voltage, error return, etc.) is sent to the cell phone through Bluetooth transmission, and the system automatically uploads the data to the cloud after the cell phone is connected to the network.
3, no need to download APP, use WeChat applet easy solution.
In the long run, Bluetooth technology still has a long way to go, now the wireless technology are becoming more and more mature, only to highlight their own advantages, in order to stand in certain areas.
